"More than anything I appreciate the honesty and the flexibility in what could be provided for the amount of money at our disposal, while still keeping in mind what the end goal of the research was (e.g. what we needed to find and how it was going to be used next).
Oxford Intelligence’s complete attention from the initial establishment of appropriate search criteria (feedback here was very useful), to status updates during the progression of the project, to the end results produced, we were very happy with what we received. The follow-up and regular communication was much appreciated. I would most certainly use your services again in establishing further contact with potential investment targets where appropriate. I have also recommended Oxford Intelligence’s name to colleagues for future consideration."
